News Central town hall meeting in Rivers ends in chaos

The highly anticipated News Central’s Town Hall meeting in Rivers State was disrupted by chaos as opposing groups clashed amid the ongoing state of emergency in the area.
The event which is aimed to bring together community leaders, stakeholders, and concerned citizens to discuss critical issues such as suspended leadership, pipeline vandalism, and the wider crisis impacting the state featured a diverse representation, including dignitaries, elder statesmen, civil society members, and youth organisations.
The President of the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI), Mr. Bright Amewhule, recounted how his party had facilitated the rise of Governor Sim Fubara before he eventually left the party.
However, tensions quickly intensified when participants expressed sharply divergent views on how to address the state’s challenges. The first major dispute arose when Kemwel Ibinabo commented on the alleged influence exerted by former Governor Barr. Nyesom Wike.
